  The first book in BRAND NEW gripping gangland thriller series by bestselling author Evie Hunter! 
  High stakes, killer secrets... 
  Frenchurch Falls is a playground of indulgence for the rich and famous. But behind its gleaming facade, lie dark and dangerous secrets. And some of them will prove deadly… 
  When Callie Renfrew’s husband, Gavin, vanishes, she isn’t entirely surprised. As the owner of Frenchurch Falls, Callie has always known Gavin had a knack for skirting the law. But what she uncovers about his dealings will drag her into a web of danger. 
  Gavin’s disappearance threatens more than Callie’s business—it also threatens the lives of her oldest friends, Angela Dalton and Dawn Frobisher, each tied to the spa in their own way. Drawn into the chaos, together, they must uncover the truth: Is Gavin alive, or has someone already exacted vengeance? 
  With mounting debts, ruthless enemies circling, and a crumbling control, Callie must rely on Angela and Dawn like never before. But trust comes at a price, and in a world this deadly, misplaced faith could cost Callie everything— even her life. 
  A brand new gangland series perfect for fans of Kerry Kaya, Gillian Godden and Edie Baylis.

  Jeff wasn’t the same man Kit Squires had married, but was he capable of murder? 
  A year has passed since Jeff lost his job as a radio host, yet he stubbornly clings to the hope of being rehired. He begs Kit to be patient for a little longer. But her physical therapy earnings alone can’t support the family, and their bank account is streaking toward the danger zone—much like her marriage. Desperate, Kit issues an ultimatum—get a job or move out.  
  Then gunshots blast across the airwaves of Jeff’s former show. And in the dead air that follows, he utters some troubling last words. He had no reason to be at the station. Was this why he’d asked for “just a little more time?” 
  Torn between believing the evidence against Jeff or trusting the integrity of the man she thought she knew, Kit’s choice puts her at odds with her son, Bryce. One of them has to be wrong and that could have fatal consequences. 
  Was the evidence lying or had she been fooled by Jeff all along? That’s the question Kit must answer in Dead Air: A Waco Mystery, a novel about a family in crisis and the importance of character.

  Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.

  Greta Plank, library director in the small, lakeside town of Larkspur, Wisconsin, prefers her rose-tinted glasses extra rosy, thank you very much. It's how she copes with the hard stuff in life . . . like her sister's death and her ex-boyfriend's deception. But Greta's cheery resolve takes a hit when she stumbles upon a dead body on her way home from work. What she assumes is a terrible accident Greta soon learns is something more sinister, and to make matters worse, a new-to-town detective cites her as not only his primary source for the case, but his top suspect. 
   
   
   
  Greta decides to do some off-the-books clue cataloging of her own. With the help of her fellow librarians and her lawyer mom, Greta flips through the pages of the murder, uncovering details about Larkspur's real estate market and the deceased's rare book collection as she tries to understand why anyone would have authored his death. 
   
   
   
  With friends and neighbors stacking up as both victims and suspects, Greta must cross reference the facts and put a hold on her idyllic worldview if she wants to get the full story without paying the fine of her life.
